Join us and shape the quantum devices of tomorrow!
Job Description
We are seeking for a motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join the group of Dr. Viatcheslav Dobrovitski to do the research on the dephasing of entangled states of spin and photonic qubits in quantum networks. The postdoc will play an important role in advancing the theoretical understanding of decoherence and its impact on scalable quantum technologies.
As a Postdoctoral Researcher you will :
- Conduct research on the decoherence of entangled spin qubits in semiconductors (≈15%).
- Conduct research on the dephasing of entangled photonic qubits in quantum networks (≈85%).
- Perform analytical and/or numerical studies and analyse results.
- Prepare and submit 1-2 scientific publications.
You will be part of a collaborative and supportive research environment at the heart of the Delft University campus. Our team values diversity and fosters an inclusive, international culture.
Requirements
- PhD in physics, quantum information science, mathematics, or a related field.
- Strong background in quantum physics, mathematics, and quantum information science.
- Good knowledge of mathematical and theoretical physics methods of describing random processes and random fields.
- Experience with analytical and/or numerical methods for modelling qubit dynamics.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a research team.
